Slovakia beat Spain 2-1 tonight, they could be the suprise team of the Euro qualifiers having already won in Ukraine. Ukraine recovered from that defeat with a 2-0 win in Belarus.
Slovenia beat Switzerland making it look like they'll be England's main rivals in their group.
Elsewhere Sweden drew 1-1 at home with Russia.
If a player with a reputation for diving had gone down in the manner that Lampard did for City's first penalty, it would be the only talking point for the rest of the game, lead story on SSN and front and back pages of all the papers.
As it's St Frank, honest as the day is long and all-round good egg, there'll be barely a mention, and any criticism will be solely focused on the referee and not at the player.
I wonder when the media are going to start demanding for Poch's dismissal. If this was AVB then the knives would have been out after this result, coupled with previous ones.
For the record, I think Poch is a long term appointment.

Yup always does it and well known for it.
Exactly. If he did do it he'd be accused of being a hypocrite. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Great manager, but as a person a snide horrible c**t.
Why, who is then??
He'll get what's coming to him one of these days.
Lloris or Courtois are ahead of him.
Hart similar level.
Now that I would like to see. Wenger couldn't deck my granny.

Michael Owen hasn't improved as a co-commentator
The day he does improve, Stoke will win the title.

Converted hat-trick aguero

He's not been that bad. 2 out of 4 penalties correct, as well as the red card.
all those pundits who said they would go down!
it actually seems they got rid of their deadwood for 120 million
